Most students entering the CSE graduate degree programs will have obtained a bachelors degree in a technical field, e.g., computer science, mathematics, or a science or engineering discipline. Students should have taken undergraduate calculus courses. Some CSE courses will require additional coursework in topics such as linear algebra or differential equations. A working knowledge of probability and statistics will also be helpful in some core courses and specializations. Students should have taken at least one course, but preferably two and have developed a proficiency in programming in a high level language such as C, FORTRAN or Java. Students deficient in one or more of these areas may still gain admission, but should expect to take some additional coursework. The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) general test scores are required of all applicants to the Computational Science and Engineering degree programs. The required minimum total score on the exams are: The internet-based TOEFL exam = 90, with minimum section scores of 19 or higher on each skill area, The paper-based TOEFL exam = 577, IELTS exam - Overall score minimum of 7, with minimum section scores for reading 6.5, listening 6.5, speaking 6.5 and writing 5.5.
